     4. A bird perch holder as set forth in  claim 3  to further comprise a ball joint component wherein said ball joint component is positioned inside said linear bore of said second side and nestingly engaged into said spherical collar of said second side, wherein said ball portion of said ball joint component mates with said spherical collar and said linear member of said ball joint component extends through said spherical collar to matingly engage said perch holding means; and
 wherein said spherical end of said adjustment bolt forcibly mates said ball portion of said ball joint component with said spherical collar to rigidly position said perch holding means in a predetermined position relative to said perch mounting means. 
 
   
   
     5. A bird perch holder as set forth in  claim 4  to further comprise a perch holding means, said perch holding means comprising:
 a sleeve having a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis from said first end to said second end, said first end being closed and said second end being open; and 
 a perch securing means, 
 
     said sleeve comprising a threaded bore into said first closed end of said perch holding means, said threaded bore having a longitudinal axis in alignment with said longitudinal axis of said sleeve. 
   
   
     6. A bird perch holder as set forth in  claim 5  to further comprise a perch securing means, said perch securing means comprising:
 a means for securing a bird perch thereto and wherein said perch securing means being dimensioned to slidingly mate into said second open end of said sleeve whereby the bird perch is secured to said perch holding means. 
 
   
   
     7. A bird perch holder as set forth in  claim 6  wherein said sleeve comprises a threaded bore into said first closed end of said perch holding means, said threaded bore having a longitudinal axis in alignment with said longitudinal axis of said sleeve and wherein said linear member mounted at a position on said periphery of said ball portion of said ball joint component matingly engages said perch holding means wherein said spherical end of said adjustment bolt forcibly mates said ball portion of said ball joint component with said spherical collar to rigidly position said perch holding means in a predetermined position relative to said perch mounting means. 
   
   
     8. A bird perch holder as set forth in  claim 7  wherein said perch securing means comprises a first end and a second end having a first indenture there into and further comprising perch alignment means secured to said second end of said perch securing means, said perch securing means comprising a needle point alignment pin fixedly positioned in said first indenture in said second end of said perch securing means whereby a perch affixed to said perch securing means is positionally stabilized. 
   
   
     9. A bird perch holder comprising:
 a perch mounting means for securing said bird perch holder in a bird cage wherein said perch mounting means comprises:
 a first side and 
 a second side having a first end and a second end,
 said second side having
 a linear bore extending through said first end and through said second end; 
 
 
 said second side having
 a spherical collar at the second end of said second side and aligned with said linear bore; 
 
 
 an adjustment bolt having a recessed spherical end; 
 a perch holding means comprising
 a first end, 
 a second end and 
 a ball joint component,
 said ball joint component comprising:
 a ball portion having a periphery and 
 a linear member mounted at a position on said periphery of said ball portion of said ball joint component; 
 
 said ball joint component being positioned inside said linear bore 
 
 
 wherein said ball portion of said ball joint component mates with said spherical collar and said linear member of said ball joint component extends through said spherical collar to matingly engage said perch holding means; and 
 wherein said spherical end of said adjustment bolt forcibly mates said ball joint with said spherical collar to rigidly position said perch holding means in a predetermined position relative to said perch mounting means. 
 
   
   
     10. A bird perch holder comprising:
